Ezequiel 10:2

2 Y habló al varón vestido de lienzos, y le dijo: Entra en medio de las ruedas debajo de los querubines, y llena tus manos de carbones encendidos de entre los querubines, y derrama sobre la ciudad. Y entró a vista mía

Ezequiel 10:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:2

And he spake unto the man clothed with linen
That is, the God of Israel, or the glory of the Lord, that sat upon the throne before described; he gave orders to the man clothed in linen, who appears in another character, and represents the Chaldean or Roman army: and said, go in between the wheels, [even] under the cherub;
the singular for the plural, the "cherubim"; the wheels were under these; the churches are under their ministers, their pastors, guides, and governors; or rather, since the wheels were by the cherubim, it should be rendered, as by some, "unto the cherub", or "cherubim" ^F1: and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and
scatter [them] over the city;
these "coals of fire" were an emblem of the wrath of God against Jerusalem, and of the destruction of it by fire; and these being fetched from between the cherubim, show that the cause of this wrath and ruin was the ill treatment of the prophets of the Lord; see ( 2 Chronicles 36:15-19 ) ; as the destruction of the same city afterwards by the Romans was owing, as to the rejection and killing of the Messiah, so to the prosecution of his apostles, ( 1 Thessalonians 2:15 1 Thessalonians 2:16 ) ; and he went in my sight;
in the sight of the prophet, as it appeared to him in vision he saw him go in, as he was ordered, between the wheels, and under the cherubim; but as yet he did not see him take the coals of fire, and much less scatter them; these were afterwards done, as related in the other part of the vision.

Ezequiel 10:2 In-Context

1 Y miré, y he aquí sobre el cielo que estaba sobre la cabeza de los querubines, como una piedra de zafiro, que parecía como semejanza de un trono que se mostró sobre ellos

2 Y habló al varón vestido de lienzos, y le dijo: Entra en medio de las ruedas debajo de los querubines, y llena tus manos de carbones encendidos de entre los querubines, y derrama sobre la ciudad. Y entró a vista mía

3 Y los querubines estaban a la mano derecha de la Casa cuando este varón entró; y la nube llenaba el atrio de adentro

4 Y la gloria del SEÑOR se había levantado del querubín al umbral de la puerta; y la Casa fue llena de la nube, y el atrio se llenó del resplandor de la gloria del SEÑOR

5 Y el estruendo de las alas de los querubines se oía hasta el atrio de afuera, como la voz del Dios Omnipotente cuando habla
